A macOS kernel extension (kext) that uploads Intel wireless Bluetooth firmware to enable native Bluetooth support on Intel hardware. Firmware binaries are sourced from the Linux linux-firmware project.
Use cases
- enable intel bluetooth on hackintosh
- get bluetooth working in macos with intel wifi card
- upload intel bluetooth firmware kext
- fix bluetooth not detected on macos intel card
- native bluetooth support for intel 8265 ax200 on macos
When to choose
- you run macOS on a Hackintosh with an Intel wireless card and need Bluetooth
- you want native Bluetooth functionality without USB dongles
- you are configuring OpenCore or Clover with Intel Bluetooth kexts
When to avoid
- you use a Broadcom or other non-Intel Bluetooth chipset
- you run Linux or Windows where drivers already exist
- you need Wi-Fi support as well - this only covers Bluetooth
